Some Screenshots Showing Why Conception II is Awkwardly Hilarious

Last year, I purchased Conception II after picking up the free demo cause I enjoyed the dungeon crawling and the characters seemed like they could be interesting. While I will be writing a full review soon (35+ hours in and Ive still got over four dungeons to conquer), I wanted to touch on how awkward and hilarious this game can be, because over the past 35 hours, I can safely say its been one of the stranger games Ive played (which, lets be real here, is saying a lot in the JRPG genre). As this is my first proper dating sim, some of the overtly flirtatious and creepy dialogue caught me off guard and has mad me laugh just as many times as its made me cringe. Using screenshots to preview some of these, here is a summary of some of the awkward moments you can expect to find if you play Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars.

Note: some minor spoilers are ahead, so proceed at your own risk!

The Girls are Unintentionally Inappropriate

In Conception II, there are seven different girls to choose from, all with different personalities and different looks to provide variety for the players preferences. What they all share though is the ability to randomly sprout surprisingly innuendo-filled or completely straight forward lines without even intending to, because dating sims.

....a logical conclusion after someone says "I want to get to know you.", Torri.

Does anyone even say in the buff anymore?

Okay, that one was completely intentional.

Admittedly, this probably wasnt her fault, but this was so anime I had to include it.

Chlotz, in general

Chlotz (a character I actually enjoy) is the definition of hormone-filed teenager. He is never subtle and often just creepy, although for the most part manages to pull this off in an endearing, weird friend kind of way.

Narrowing things down in a dating sim.

A reply to the protagonist going to photography club.

The thing I appreciate most is Chlotzs trademark grin when he says most of these things.

Classmating and Its Brother, Classmanting

Now I have absolutely nothing against same-sex relationships, but Classmanting is the worst part of the game. None of the guys seem like they want to do it, rumours get spread about them and its all round only for the benefit of science and for Ruby to get totally weird.

#chlotzgrin

Initially, I shamelessly chuckled at this

....Until this happened

The adults are pretty crazy too

Most of the adults in the game do seem like theyre just trying to do things for science and for the better of the universe...usually. Other times they remember theyre in a dating sim and say really strange things to high school students.

Could be said about most of the game really

Who let this guy run the church?!

Mattero is the churchs priest, who serves no purpose as a character for the most part other than to be a helpful NPC or a total creep.

This was one of the first dialogues in the demo. Pretty much if you survive/continue after reading this line, youre ready to play Conception II

No hate, just amusement Conception II. Pure amusement.
